The 1A District 4 baseball tournament is set to begin on Tuesday with first round games at Sterling High School. The Prairie Mustangs and Weldon Valley Warriors will both be competing on Tuesday with hopes of keeping their seasons alive.

Prairie enters the tournament as the No. 5 seed and will play in the first game at 9 a.m. against the No. 4 seed Fleming Wildcats. The winner will face the No. 1 seed Peetz Bulldogs in the semifinals. Peetz earned the first-round bye in the conference. During the regular season, Prairie lost to Fleming 12-2 and 11-3 on April 5.

In the second game Tuesday, the No. 3 seed Caliche Buffaloes will take on the No. 6 seed Briggsdale Falcons. Following them will be the final game in the first round between the No. 2 seed Otis Bulldogs and the No. 7 seed Weldon Valley Warriors. The two schools have not met since March 21, when Otis won 18-2 and 23-2 over the Warriors in both games. That game is scheduled to start around 1 p.m.

Winners from the first round on Tuesday will advance to the semifinals on Friday at 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. The championship game will follow at 1 p.m. All three games on Friday will be played at Sterling High School.
